Abstract
Fourteen clerodane-type diterpenoids isolated from planes in the gener a Baccharis, Teucrium, and Salvia were assayed for antifeedant activit y against Tenebrio molitor larvae in order to establish structure-acti vity relationships. Among the compounds tested, furano-diterpenes with alpha,beta-unsaturated-gamma-lactone moieties, or C-4-epoxy substitut ion with C-5-methylacetoxy or C-12-acyloxy functionalities, exhibited maximal antifeedant and repellent activities.
